Russia’s Defense Ministry will clarify its official position on
the sale of ammunition worth $800 million to Armenia by Jan. 20,
the ministry’s press service told Trend News.

Several media reports claim that Russia sold ammunition worth $800
million to Armenian armed forces from Russian Military Base 102
in Gumru.

On Jan. 13, Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasiliy Istratov was
invited to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. Deputy Foreign Minister
Araz Azimov officially asked the ambassador about the reports. Istratov
said Russia will clarify the issue in the near future.

"We are not confirming or refuting the sale as we are working on the
issue at the moment," the press service added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
